Okay, BOY, is it sooo easy to up the lbs! Had to go "spur of the moment" to Louisiana for a funeral. Had a great ONE DAY and ONE NIGHT with old friends, catch up etc. Didn't really eat truly bad - had a few more carbs than I have been eating (low carb) and less than a half a piece of cake. One meal at a Mexican restaurant where I ate ONE puffed taco, no rice, no Beans. Came home - next day up 3 lbs! Sad! So my hard-earned loss of earlier in the week - poof! lol I got right back on the horse and exercised by riding 3 miles on my bike last night and low carb today. It's just really amazing to me that now over two years out my body reacts so quickly to ANY change and I have to watch everything that goes in to keep from regaining. Something I didn't anticipate.

On a good note, though - EVERYONE in LA had a fit over my size! (smile) None of them had seen me since the dramatic weight loss. Many compliments which makes one feel REALLY REALLY good! Yaay, Sleeve!

Hi Sleevers!!

I am down to 187. Still need to knock off 10 more pounds

Only have two weeks left!!

I think my goal may have been too lofty

Had a few stalls here and there.

But overall I have lost inches for sure!

My now medium scrubs are getting to look like

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
